The Fate of Worlds.

The earth, says Hamarion, was born !;
it will die. 1t will die when its vital
elements have been spent, or perhaps
by the extinction of the sun, in whose
rays its existence is suspended. 1t
may die by the shock of celestial
body which it might meet in its path,
but this end of the world is the most
improbable of all. may die, we say,
by the slow absorption of its elements.
In truth, it is probable that the water
and the air are diminishing. The
ocean, like the atmosphere, appears to
have been much more considerable
than at present. The crust of the earth
is penetrated by the waters, which
combine chemically with the rocks. 1t
is almost certain that the interior tenn
perature of the globe at ten kilometers
(about six miles) of depth reaches the
boiling point and impedes a further
descent of the waters; but absorption
will continue with the cooling of the
globe. The oxygen, nitrogen and car
bonic acid which compose our atmos-
phere appear to suffer likewise slow
absorption.

The Fiery Cross.

A poor woman sat in a small room
on the fifth floor of large tenement
house, 1t was Sunday evening-a few
days before Christmas. The coming
holidays, which made all other people
happier, would only bring greater
misery to her sad heart Just year
ago she had said to her husband, 81
hope l will be dead before next Christ
mas, for during these happy holidays
you make my life even more wretched
than at other times.' The year had
nearly dragged to its close, still the
poor woman was living in poverty and
distress, and on Sunday evening her
children sat ragged and hungry around
her. Fifteen years ago she had beau
tiful homework several thousand
dollars-but some old Taxpayers were
the only reminders she had of those
brighter days. On this Sunday even
ing before Christmas her heart was
heavy as lead. AT midnight, or in the
morning, the drunken husband will
come home with curses and blows-for
he had temperament which liquor al
ways drove to acts of violence. What
is the use of my living any longer?" she
thought. "Why does God not grant
my request and take me out of my deep
misery?" She raised the window and
looked into the dark court below A
dreadful struggle between maternal
love and desire to escape her suffer-
ing took place. Her brain began to
swim. She was about to take the aw-
full leap, when suddenly out of the sur
rounding darkness sprang cross of
fire. She was amazed. Good has sent
me vision!" she cried. Her children
came to the window and saw the fiery
cross standing out against the dark sky
All that Sabbath evening the symbol of
redeeming love stood high in the
heavens. The woman inquired of her
neighbors where the strange light came
from, and she learned that the cross
which crowns the steeple of city mis-
sion church is lighted every Sunday
evening, and this was all that she had
seen. " No." said the woman, cit
was vision of God to me-" She came
to the church and found the Savior.
Sustained by the uplifting power of
Gods dear Son, she began to work and
pray for her husband. Her efforts
were crowned with success. The
drunkard and infdel soon became a
child of God.-Neao York Observer.

Starting a Home.

Few things involve more serious is
sues or impose weightier responsibility
than starting a home, and yet few
things are ventured upon often with so
much indifference respecting the future.
There is so much in the beginning of
an important event that to enter
thoughtlessly upon such one as this
is simply wicked. Many homes were
badly started. There was nothing sa-
cred in the plan and purpose, and hence
these homes are no benefit to society
and no help to the inmates. How care
full the young should be to start the
home right-to start it with God! The
wreck and ruin of homes now so
shamefully common would be greatly
diminished if homes were started and
kept on the side of God. The honey
moon may be full of devotion and Joy,
the house elegant in its outfit and COM
forts, but it requires more than these to
make useful and sunny home. There
may be two hearts with one great love
swelling in both, having only COM
mon interest, and yet the forces that
waste and separate and hinder the
happiest and best life may dominate in
that home. Who starts home with
out God starts it wrongly, and the cold
winds and tempests will disturb its
harmony before long. Wealth or pow
erty or neither may distinguish it, but
that home is not well furnished that has
no altar of prayer in it and that does
not welcome Jesus Christ as a guest.
This is only word, but it is word
that concerns the generations. One
great need of the age is godly homes.
BE sure you model your home after our
Fathers house, and then it will be as
it should be-a blessing to the world,
and to you and yours an open gate into
the home hard by the sea of glass.-Dr.
M. Rhodes, IN 81. Marks Messenger.

produced congestion Of the brain, with
attendant coma, causing his death.
Young Knevals was an excessive smoker
of cigarettes. His daily allowance was
sixty cigarettes, and he plainly was in
the habit of inhaling the smoke. This
habit he had begun years ago, when his
organs were still weak and his bodily
vigor not attained. Thus daily he alb
sorbed by inhalation deadly drugs-not
only nicotine, but opium, cascarilla and
the acid of the paper covering of the
cigarette-and was daily drugging him
self to death. The cigarette ought to
be banished the country. Not only is
the empyrematic oil of the paper
deadly poison, but a pure tobacco
cigarette wrapped in paper is not to be
had. They all contain opium, cascarilla
or other drugs leading to fascination
which the smoker finds it impossible to
resist. In this the cigarette is thousand
fold more harmful than the pipe or
even the cigar. AT recent examina-
ton of candidates for appointment as
cadets at West Point every one of the
youths was rejected by the physician,
who detected the effect of cigarette
smoking upon the heart. The death of
young Knevals ought to be warning
to those who have acquired this habit,
but how many are there who will heed
it, or how many parents who read this
paragraph will take one step to deprive
the boys of their cigarette? We fear
not many. Yet it is great evil under
the sun, and it ought to be done away
with-at least it should be banished
from every Christian Reconsideration
at Work.

The knowledge of Christ.

The knowledge of Christ is flower
that never fades. Garry it in your bosom
and it will fill your life with fragrance.
1t is light that cheers the darkest
night; the longer it burns the brighter
it grows, and fierce winds only make it
shine more clearly. 1t turns hovel
into a palace, makes a rough road
smooth, is easily carried and costs
nothing. The knowledge of Christ is
purse full of gold. 1t will pay your
way in all the strange places of life
and bring you comforts more choice
than any found in kings houses. 1t
will open gates closed to the wise of
this world, and, unlike earthly treas
ures, the more you spend the more you
have. 1t is well whose crystal stream
makes all around beautiful and pure,
refreshes the weary passer-by, never
knows the drought of summer and
from life's morning to its latest eve
flows steadily, carrying joy and song
throughout its course. 1t is sunbeam
from paradise, smile from the face of
God, the song-book of saints, the harp
of angels, the Bible of the New Jeru-
salem, the key of heavens treasury
anu tHc passport lHlo tne preSeuCe Vi
the King. 1t makes rainbows on storm
clouds, transforms tears into pearls
and thorns into apple-trees and causes
the desert to blossom as rose. 1t
makes the heart larger than a kingdom,
richer than bank, brighter than
palace and happier than grove in
which thousand birds are singing.
Get this knowledge, above all things,
increase it, teach it, live it and prize
it above rubies, for it is your happiness,
your glory and your life.-Rev. John
M0cphersOn.

Long Ago.

When at eve I sit alone,
Thinking of the past and gone
When the clock, with drowsy finger,
Marks how long the minutes linger,
And the embers, dimly burning,
Tell of life to dust returning
Then my lonely chair around,
with quiet, mournful sound,
With murmur, soft and low,
Come the ghosts of long ago
One by one count them DER
Voices that are heard no more,
Tears that loving cheeks have wet
Words whose music fingers yet,
Holy faces, pale and fair,
Shadowy locks of waving hair,
Happy signs and whispers dear,
Songs forgotten many a year,
Lips of dewy fragrance, eyes
Brighter, bluer than the skies,
Odors breathed from paradise
And the gentle shadows glide,
Softly murmuring at my side,
Till the long, unfriended day
All forgotten fades away. -Erchdng,

Woman and Home.
Erchdnge.

My chief anxiety is not that woman
have other rights accorded her, but
that she, by the grace of God, rise
up to the appreciation of the glorious
rights she already possesses. This
morning / shall only have time to speak
of one grand and all-absorbing right
that every woman has, and that is to
make home happy. That realm no one
has ever disputed with her. Men may
come home at noon or at night, and
they tarry comparatively little while ;
but she, all day long, governs it,
beauties it, sanctifes it. 1t is within
her power to make it the most at
tractive place on earth. 1t is the only
calm harbor in this world. You know
as well as / do that this outside world
and the business world is a long scene
of jostle and contention. The man
who has a dollar struggles to keep it;
the man who has it not struggles to get
it. Prices up; prices down; losses;
gains; Misrepresentation; gougings;
underselling; buyers depreciating sales
men eXaggerating; tenants seeking less
rent; landlords demanding more; gold
fidgety; struggles about office; men who
are in trying to keep in; men out try
ing to get in; slips; tumbles; defalca-
tons; panics; catastrophes. O woman!
thank God you have a home and that
you may be queen in it. Better be
there than wear Victoria's coronet
Better be there than carry the purse of
princess. Your abode may be humble,
but you can, by your faith in God and
your cheerfulness of demeanor, gild it

hand never yet kindled. There are
abodes in the city humble, two stories
four plain, unpapered rooms; unde-
sirable neighborhood; and yet there is
man here this morning who would
die on that threshold rather than sur
render it. Why? 1t is home. When
ever he thinks of it he sees angels of
God lowering around it. The ladders
of heaven are let down to that house.
Over the child's rough crib there are
the chantings of angels as those that
broke over Bethlehem. 1t is home
These children may come up after
awhile, and they may win high posi-
ton and they may have an affluent
residence, but they will not until their
dying day forget that humble roof
under which their father rested and
their mother sang and their sisters
played. o, if you would gather up all
tender. memories, all the lights and
shades of the heart, all banquetings and
reunions, all filial, fraternal, parental
and conjugal affections, and you had
only just four letters with which to
spell out that height and depth, and
length and breadth, and magnitude and
eternity of meaning, you would, with
streaming eyes and trembling voice
and agitated hand, write it out in those
four living capitals, H-O-M-E.-Ial-

Sam Jones on Religion.

81 have seen persons shout the
whole day and night they joined the
church," says Sam Jones; " but some-
how or other l think they shouted it all
out on the spot. The steam in the
boiler of locomotive engine either
means noise or it means power. If you
lift the safety-valve and let the steam
blow out that way, it is nuisance; if
you let it work out through the cylin-
ders and steam-chest, you have got
power to move forty cars mile min
ute. Well, now, if have got a religion
of sentiment and let it out through my
mouth, there is not much in that; but
if | make it 90 through my feet and
fingers there is something in it,"

The Cigarette.

The deadly cigarette has found
another victim. On Sunday afternoon
Russell Knevals was found lying dead
in his bed by one of his companions.
He was young man of fine physique
and seemed to be a splendid example of a
vigorous, healthy man. An autopsy
has revealed the cause of death. He was
killed by cigarettes. When the sur
geons reached the heart they found that
the use of cigarettes had so greatly i'm
paired its functions that it was feeble

AN important element of the success
of Hoods Sarsaparilla is the fact that
every purchaser receives a fair equiva-

headline, 100 Doses One Dollar"

WILLIAM DAVIS, my neighbor,
thinks he has the boss barn in town,
and he is right. He drives into the
gable end with two-horse load of hay
and can throw it off alone, NOW it
